[OOC] Mortal Reverence

[Mizos]

It's a common sight to see people go about their daily lives, going through the same motions day by day all for the pursuit of some goal, dream or simply responsibility. Written and unwritten laws guide the actions of people for better or worse as they work to squeeze together of living or hold onto their way of life. This monotonous ritual has existed for centuries, continues today and will for the foreseeable future.
At least that’s what most believed would be the case that is until the ‘Event’ transpired destroying what many considered to be the very fabric society.
Your character is one of these people going through the daily motions when they’re lives are suddenly thrown into a whirlwind of chaos created by a fiend that seems to enjoy the suffering of all humankind.
The whole world turns against you as you’re forced into a sick fight for survival, it seems certain that you’ll meet your end in a matter of seconds, however in what you assume to be your last moment someone reaches out to you and others in your position offering the slightest bit of hope when all seems lost.
This story is about the trials faced by a group of people in the city of Naveria wishing to free themselves of a forced fate and the suffering they will both have to endure and give to endure the ‘Event’ and its twisted purpose.

---

I decided to put up this roleplay after sitting on it for a bit, I mentioned it earlier but the roleplay is about a group that has to fight for their lives and survive against near impossible odds.
This roleplay has many situations where your character can die and powerful NPC’s divided into Tiers that require teamwork to overcome.
A large point of the roleplay is the decisions your characters will have to make, the main purpose is character development and though the story is linear there are plenty of opportunities presented.

---

notes

Decision making is a large part of the roleplay, if for whatever reason you can’t make the decision I will make one or if the time limit expires(5 to7 days) I’ll do that, however in such a case I may choose the one that will hurt the group later so I wouldn’t advise doing this often.
Decisions are a large part of the roleplay, your actions will either help or hurt the group possibly both, work together when the decisions come to play, think hard when the decision is yours alone as you’ll effect those around you.

I update as new information comes available, I’ll always inform when I add things and where I add it to. You’re not required to check it out but if it’s a character I’d recommended taking a look.

“Routes” exist in the roleplay, depending on decisions your character may be exposed to something different than the others, dying even has a personal road so be prepared for that possibility.

Magic is active in this roleplay but until the ‘event’ your characters won’t be able to use it.

Your character can die so keep that in mind, I have all kinds of tricks and traps hidden in the story so be prepared for that, however do keep in mind there’s nothing wrong with getting killed often, I set this up so there are multiple chances of it happening.

I will always give a warning when your character has a chance of dying. I’m already trying to kill you so I want to give you the possibility of surviving.
The warning will look like this at the top of my post “ID- John Mcshould dodge” The ID stands for imminent death and your characters name will follow after it which means one of your decisions may get you killed. At times it may say Everyone which means every character is at risk and that includes my own. I’ll always put it at the top of the post where it can happen so keep a close eye on events or situations when that happens, sometimes I’ll give a subtle hint to what might end your life unless it’s painstakingly obvious then I won’t do anything, this isn’t final destination and there aren’t any death flags (Points for understand the reference) so don’t expect it every time…but if you catch it feel free act accordingly. If you do die I’ll add this in at the end of the following post. Death- John Mcdidn’t dodge just so there’s no confusion.

I am your best friend and worst enemy in this roleplay, as GM I already know the story and what each decision will bring. Sometimes I may lead you down the easy path…other times I’ll lead you down a bad path, I’ll offer my advice (In character of course) but understand that I intended to help and hurt so take it with a spoonful of salt.

Death is not the end of your character, should you die I can bring your character back from the dead easily within my next post so keep that in mind, they’ll retain all memories of everything including their death, they’ll be the same person without any changes. Just let me know if you don’t want me to bring them back and I will wait.

Just to be clear my character will never make any decisions unless for the reason listed above that would be cheating but they will be involved in the discussion. They also aren’t immortal either; if we fight together and you die then my character can die as well if the enemy is really that strong. I put the possibility of death down with each decision made; they suffer the same chance of death they won’t magically dodge. I take liberties to make sure the information is properly given to you thus I can’t let them die in every situational circumstance but know that my characters lives are also in your hands. When it says ID-Everyone mine are included in the equation, heck it wouldn't be surprising to see. ID-GM’s awesome character, roleplayers equally awesome character so keep an eye out as there are ‘routes’ if mine die as well and some are pretty nasty.

Respect the tiers, enemies have tiers it’ll be further explained in the ‘Event’ section below but I can’t stress that enough. You are going to encounter some freakishly strong people that will require teamwork to take down. I don’t like Godmodding and I always give a warning what the tier of the person is before hand, if someone hurls something the size of the sun at you I gave fair warning, again I will always warn of death and I won’t make them so overpowered they can’t be beat. The more people you have help take them down the easier it is so use teamwork. Seriously use.your.friends/shields.

Leaking is meant to strengthen you character but it last half of a post, the remainder should be the kickback or it fading. This will be described in more detail via the ‘Event’ section below.

Rules

Follow the rules, this should go without saying but there in place for a reason.

No Godmodding- the characters are mortal in every sense of the word keep this in mind, let them have flaws and faults, takes all kinds to make a person after all.

No Metagaming- with the way the roleplay works this can be pretty difficult but I ask that you avoid it as much as possible, especially when it comes to information use. I’d like you to look through your characters eyes at decisions. I’m fine with you recognizing the OOC warning signs, that’s absolutely permitted but it’s meant as just that a warning.

Romance is fine but let’s keep things PG-13 in terms of relations between characters, the drill is fade to black or continue it somewhere else the same holds true here.

I’m alright with swearing but avoid going overboard. Every other sentence is an example of overboard.

Two paragraphs minimum- I ask this so that everyone has something to respond too and to understand your character more, in interactions if it’s a paragraph I’m alright with that and I understand writers block hits occasionally just avoid doing it repetitiously. If this is a problem contact me and we’ll talk about it.

Be considerate of your other roleplayers both in the IC and OOC as well, it would be a huge bother if arguments start in the OOC so just be cool. Discussions are fine arguments not so much.

Time limit- There is a time limit on this role-play; I’ll wait five days to a week before I move things along. I understand that responsibilities and the such will keep you from posting it’s the same for me but I would like to keep things moving as much as possible. Keep in mind that doesn’t mean you can’t come back in if I move along I’ll even help just know that without informing me of an absence (anything simple is fine, “I can’t post today, got stuff to do etc.”) I’ll move along to keep flow. If for whatever reason you have trouble with posting or have to leave just PM me and let me know.

There is a good chance your character will die, an extremely good chance at least once. Because of this I’ll have to autohit your character should that time come, by joining you’re giving me permission to do so in that situation. I will not do it in any other situation but I want that knowledge known to avoid any misunderstanding.

If anything confuses you, now or in the future don’t hesitate to ask me about it, if it’s something personal about your character then PM me.

Everyone in this RP is human; sorry if you wanted to be something else but I’m afraid human is absolutely a necessity.

Due to the nature of the roleplay I can’t take in too many characters, I’ll put a notice up when that’s the case but you never know what can happen. If I put the notice up feel free to inquire about open spots I’ll keep you in mind should anything happen.

If you are easily offended I would recommend not joining, some of the ‘routes’ are dark and I will touch on multiple things in the story. Take note it’s nothing that couldn’t’ be shown on tv in late afternoon when kids are home so dark may be a strong word. Come in with an open mind is what I mean. I won’t insult beliefs or anything of the sort since that wouldn’t be cool like Fonz but expect to see some questionable things. If I do offend you in anyway let me know via PM, I won’t hold you to the posting rule while it’s active and I’ll even send a PM once it passes if I don’t just end it all together.

In the character sheet put a 1 where it says Tier, it’s needed and it lets me know you read and understand the rules.

Doesn't really make sense as a rule but I’d like it you enjoyed yourself. The story has light and dark parts to it, character development and all that, it’s meant to be fun and I’ll do what I can entertain.

My character/example

Name-Aria
Age-20
Gender-Female
Appearance-

Aria

Personality-Aria is coldhearted and rude to all she tends to encounter, she has little room for others in her heart and is more concerned about self-preservation than anything else. She has a strong will and prefers actions to words. There seems to be a hint of sadness behind her gaze and her irritability seems to hide another decent side of her.
Tier-1
Power/Magic- Power enchantment- Aria builds magic in her body and channels the magic into her fists which she uses to enhance her attacks for extra force. She’s able to enchant any part on her body but due to her power she doesn’t have that much range when it comes to her attacks, she’s able to send out a bursts of energy which gives her a bit more range but she can’t go any further than low-mid. She fights with hand to hand and can’t summon any weapons
Bio: Aria moved to Naveria roughly a year ago having lived on her own for the past couple years after losing her aunt to unfortunate circumstances. She decided not to pursue a college degree and went right to work after leaving high school working odd jobs until she found steady employment. She has a personal objective of moving out of the city and into the countryside away from the city and people in general. Aria hasn’t and doesn’t intend to make any friends during her time in Naveria depending only on her own efforts to reach her goal.
Personal: Solitude- Aria is intently focused on remaining alone and seeks to get as far away from all human life as possible, she seems to have a problem being near other people thus having her take on the objective of getting as far away from people as possible.

Hehehe death flags. Much respect :D I will work on a character and get it up soon.

Here it is!

Name- Chase Jones

Age- 19

Gender- Male

Appearance-

Chase

Personality- Seemingly distant and reclusive, Chase has more interest in discovering the secrets of science than talking to other people. When he is passionate about something, he will learn literally everything there is to know about it. He will never talk about his past, not because of secrecy or fear, but because of something much deeper.

Tier- 1

Power/Magic- Electromancy – Chase has electricity running through his veins, his body being in a constant state of electrically charged. He can launch his electricity in bolts and use it for physical combat. His preferred method of combat it using a metal pole charged with electricity to bash his enemies. His body doesn’t produce the electricity, just storing it. If he uses all of the power built up in his body he will die. He can restore power from things like street lights, cars; in a pinch he could even use phones.

Bio- Not a lot can be said about Chase, simply because no one knows what to say. One day, he just woke up in a research lab, in a lab coat with nothing but his wallet and some keys. Most people would be scared in a situation like this, but Chase was intrigued more than anything else. The only other thing he knew was that the blood running down his head was probably a bad thing. He checked into hospital, which he learned was in a city called ‘Naveria’ apparently. The only thing he learnt there was where he lived. Upon going back, he found a messy apartment filled with papers and books, all containing research into transitive energy. Thinking he would find clues into who he was, he read all of the papers and all of the books. A year passed and now he has lost all drive to know who he was, and only lives to research and to discover the secrets of the universe.

Personal- The only other thing that he had apart from his wallet was a necklace with an image of a woman in the pendant. He has no idea who it is, but can’t bring himself to throw it away. He distracts himself from it, but in the back of his mind he still wonders just who that woman is.

[Mizos]

Hmmm so long as his power doesn't come until after the event and there isn't an organization that rules over the world involved in his 'research' your profile is fine.

[Englandlied]

Name:
Deborah Bellarmine
Age:
28
Gender:
Female
Appearance:

Deborah

Personality:
Deborah's ultimate objective is to uphold justice, which she defines as paying for an offensive with something equal. For her, it is an insult to show leniency to someone, including herself. Beyond this, she is a rather assertive; that is, she's open with her views on subjects and often acts in accordance to what her duties (or perceived duties) require, rather than shy away from something. Of course, this assertiveness often gives her an aura of intimidation that compliments her role in society. Furthermore, she is somewhat judgmental and is rarely ever relaxed, even in an organized environment in which she can thrive. Her greatest Achilles' heel, though, is her stubbornness to change and disregard for unconventional methods. In contrast, her greatest asset is her strong will, which greatly buffs her fortitude in the face of adversity.
Tier:
1
Power/Magic:
Force Field Generation || Deborah possesses the ability to create constructs of magic in the form of paper-thin walls that act as barriers. The barriers can be made from long range and are capable of being up to six meters tall and six meters wide, but the strength of the barriers do not change with size. To make a barrier, Deborah must simply form a square with her fingers, though, she is limited to only making one at a time (only one can be active at a time as well). As for offensive capabilities, the barriers can be moved if Deborah makes a swiping motion with her hand, meaning she can slam them into enemies. At best, however, this can only shove someone out of the way and is fairly ineffective in terms of damage. Additionally, a barrier can be made horizontally and act as a platform. Should a barrier be destroyed, it will shatter and dissipate into nothing.
Bio:
Deborah was born in and raised in the crowded city of Naveria, and for the most part, her birth was the only significant part of her childhood. It was when she turned sixteen, though, that she was faced with a tragedy: her best friend, Jaden Armstrong, was killed in a collision with a drunk driver. The plan of throwing the driver into prison would have been simple, but the driver was one of the richest of the higher class and was able to bribe the judge with ease. This absence of justice would be what drove Deborah into what she is today. She eventually became a police officer and swore to uphold justice to nth degree. In fact, the cliche "taking justice into her own hands" would be a fair summary of her police career, though, she has always managed to get away with it.
Personal:
Deborah's most precious treasure is her police officer's badge, which constantly reminds her of the justice she must carry out.

[Mizos]

Works for me welcome England

[Sam12435]

Haha yea there is no evil organisation, just a scientist doing sciencey things. And yea, the power comes after the event :)

[Mizos]

Fantastic then you are accepted Sam welcome.

[Sam12435]

Yay! I am excited for this rp :3

[Mizos]

I'm happy to hear that I'm looking forward to starting it, I still got some setup and stuff to do so it'll still be a bit but I hope I can keep that excitement.

[AreYouMyMummy]

Name- Aurelia
Age- 22
Gender- Female
Appearance- 5' 4", fair-skinned, brunette, green eyes. Fairly pretty.
Personality- Kindhearted but slow to trust, dislikes bigotry and immorality.
Tier- 1
Power/Magic- Moderate shape-shifting.
Bio- Abandoned at birth, Aurelia was raised in a an orphanage until age eighteen. She spent the following years wandering, spending her nights in the forests.
Personal- Truth.

[Mizos]

Hmmm basic but acceptable, I need one clarification though, can you give me some more info on your power. moderate strength shape shifting? Does she shape shift or is she strong? I don't quite understand. If it's both I'll have to ask to pick one.

Gah sorry. She can shape-shift, but only to a certain extent.

[Mizos]

Okay then please avoid any shifting of anything larger than an elephant and I'm cool with it.

Alright :D

[Mizos]

You're accepted I trust you with your power just be careful.

[General Scales]

Name- Johnny Carver.
Age- 25.
Gender- Male.

Appearance-

Personality- To be revealed.

Tier- 1.

Power/Magic- Explosion Inducement- Johnny can, with concentration, cause an explosion in a targeted area of varying size, type, and destructive force after a few seconds upon release of the blast. It can be centered in and around objects to provide shrapnel and debris to the concussive force caused by said explosion, centering in living beings is another matter entirely but it can be done given time for something as precise. All things considered Johnny's power is not subtle in most of its applications and he is not entirely immune to the effects, shrapnel and debris will kill him like everyone else and the force of the explosion can still kill/injure him depending on proximity. If his concentration is broken before releasing the blast it could end up either being like a cherry bomb or something much, much bigger though it would take quite a bit to cause the issue to occur.

Bio- Johnny has moved around a bit so far in his life only just recently setting up shop in Naveria within the past couple months. He lived in a military family which had him in constant transition between homes however he coped well enough with it always wondering where he would end up next thinking ahead rather than in the past. Though his family was military he knew there was no place for him in any sort of fighting, never being the aggressive type needed for such conflict, however weaponry did interest him and it was what got him a job his parents could get behind. He started learning about and making guns with time helping to supply those who went out to fight where he couldn't but eventually went out on his own after hitting 18. Johnny found it hard to stay in one place for too long and by the time he got to Naveria he ended up setting up his own gun shop with a fellow gun nut in the city. So far he has enjoyed his stay in the city and has not plans to move as of yet with his business doing better than he expected what with his expertise and his partner's advertising.

Personal- His Colt .38 Saturday Night Special which was a gift from his father.

Picture For Reference<br>

[Mizos]

Looks good General, my only concern is the explosion center in the middle of living being, is the explosion spontaneous or is there a noticeable shift before the explosion?

[General Scales]

I'd say it would be noticeable with the energy and pressure build up while the power is being focused, probably would end up feeling like a gas bubble expanding or something of the sort.

[Mizos]

Works for me General you are accepted. This numbers works for me so I'll get started on the IC. If I don't have it up by today I'll have it up by tomorrow.

[Mizos]

Go ahead and get your intro posts in, if you want to make it easier have them in the square
